Subject: [9fans] Cannot "boot from:"

I am using a Dell Latitude CPx laptop, trying to install Plan 9.
I successfully get to the "boot from:" line, but anything I put into the
entry gives back no feedback. I have tried sdC0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz ,
sdC1!cdboot!9pcflop.gz , sdD0!9pcflop.gz , and sdD1!9pcflop.gz with no luck.
Some of the lspci from Linux is posted here:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host
bridge (rev 03)
00:01.0 PC bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP
bridge (rev 03)
00:03.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1225 (rev 01)
00:03.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1225 (rev 01)
00:07.0 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02)
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)

I can post the rest if needed (I have to type it by hand..) and any
other general Linux commands output as well.
I would very much like to get Plan 9 working on this laptop.
